care cannot be exercised in keeping u
wcll-established and desirable variety
pure. 1t should be borne in mind that
two sorts growing within q quarter Of a
mile of one another are liable to mix,
hence it is not wise to save seed from
such corn.
There does not appear to be any safer,
easier or better mode Of saving corn for
seed thar the old time one of pulling back
and braiding the husks Of twenty or more
ears together, and then hanging these
braided strands from the rafte1s Of o corn
house, a smoke house, the attic or other
dry place. The corn must be kept dry
and out of the reach Of rats and mice. 1t
is q wise plan to select only the perfectly
matured ears for seed; these dry more
quickly and are not 81 liable to mold.
Not a few farmers always plan to hang
their seed corn between the rafters Of
their smoke houses, believing that, in ad-
dition to the dry atmosphere there found,
the smoke that permeates the kernels acts
as q preventive to insect pests after tho

The cowboys in Buffalo Bills camp object
to the manner in which the visiting crowd
beguile an hour or two by forming groups
around the doors OF the tents and dying
the inner lives OF the occupants. Many of
the cowboys are married and have their
wives and children living with them in camp,
and they do not much enjoy having the path
outside their homes besieged by q staring
mob, who, perhaps, under the impression
that the English language is not spoken in
Texas, make the loudest and ireest comments
on the fittings and the inhabitants of the
tent. The cowboys i'll general are very good
tempered ard civil. Lately one Of them Of
fered mild remonstrance to a thoroughly
typical cad, who was making his female COM
ponion very merry with his comments as
they stood in the middle of a little mob Of
starers.
"Why do you stand there all the time and
stare and jeer like thatF the cowboy asked.
Surely you ought to hav more sense"
Dare say you Yankees have como over to
teach us sense" was the cnd's smart reply.
The cowboy looked at him calmly and said:
"If you were a foot OF SO nearer to my size 1
guess l would try to knock some sense into
you;'' and then the young Texan giant turned
and stalked back into the recesses Of his tent,
murmuring to some friends who were there:

Use Of the Paragraph.

1t is easily possible to overdo paragraph
ing. The more experienced writers are
especially liable to this sin, mainly because
they imagine that it adds to the effectiveness
of their compositions. Certainly it does at
tract attention for a time. The trick Of the
types deceives us into the belief that in the
multitude of paragraphs a multitude of sub
jects, or new views Of subjects, will be
brought out. We turn to this kind of writ
ing against space-with the space coming out
a good deal ahead-witb lively interest; but
it turns to speedy disgust when we find the
lines even more empty of ideas than Of let
tiers. Paragraphing every sentence gives the
thought, where there is any, much such a
jerky motion as q rider would get on a horse
afflicted with springhalt. or stringhalt, as IL
is often called.
The proper use of a paragraph is to make
thought go forward. The springhalt style
simply makes it bob up and down and 60 for.
ward very slowly. No reasonable being can
long write rational thought in this manner
without danger Of losing what reasoning
faculties he had. This jerky style of max.
ing paragraphs Of every sentence we have
borrowed from the French. Perhaps 1t may
be in that people one of the fearful results Of
a too exclusive diet on frogs hind legs. L
has certainly increased in this country mucl
in the same proportion that eating frogs ha
become fashionable. William j. Fowler il

Sowing Wheat,


The manner in which wheat is sown is
Of vital Importance, for its influence is felt
to q great extent right on to the harvest
ing of the crop. An all important matteris
the thorough preparation of the seed bed.
That it pays to carefully prepare the soil
for wheat has been proven time and
again, and yet not one field in ten is prop
erly stirred and pulverized before the
seed is own Remember that it is i'm
possible in the care Of wheat to make the
soil too mellow or too fine. All work
done in this direction is amply paid for by
the future crop.
It also pays to5rill in the seed, even II
one has to hire the drill. 1t insures the
ever dropping and covering of the seed,
and is a saving of seed. Avoid the use of
foul OF imperfect seed; it is q waste of
time, labor and land osow wheat that has
not been carefully screened and winnowed
to free it from foreign and imperfect seed.
In sections where smut is likely to appear
avail yourself of such preventive meas.
ures as treating the seed to brine or a so
luton Of vitriol.
Each farmer must decide in great meas
ure the question as to what variety of
wheat to SOW. It is not a safe plan to
make an entire change in any one season,
and especially where the previous yields
have proven fairly satisfactory. A safe
rule is to SOW the soil devoted to the main
crop in some well tested wheat in your
own locality, and experiment with prom
tsing new sorts on a small scale. Abushel
OF good, clear seed, drilled in, is considered
an ample quantity for one acre by many
farmers. The usual rule is from ONT
bushel to five pecks, drilled in, and about
one-haf bushel more sown broadcast.

Applause from the Usher.

The Hessian Fly.

There are two broods of the Hesslan ny
brought to perfection each year, one in
the fall and one In the spring. The ma
ture female insect deposits its eggs upon
the leaves of tho young plant soon after
these appear above ground. AS soon as
the eggs hatch the young worms make
their way down the leaf to Its base, where
they remain between it and the stem near
the roots. 1t requires several weeks for
the larva to attain full size. Its skin then
is hard and brown, and, to the unaided
eye, the insect presents the appearance OF
a small f1axseed. In this condition 1t re-
mains until spring, when the fly comes
forth and lays its eggs, and SO the opera
ton is repeated. The preventive meas
ures that have from time to time been de-
vissd by scientists and practical farmers
may be briefly told as follows:
Sow q part of the wheat early, and if
affected by the fly put in the rest of the
seed after Sept. 20. The idea is that by
destroying the first brood tho second will
not appear.
Partially affected wheat is sometimes
saved by the use of fertilizers and care
full cultivation, and il winter wheat, the
fields may be recuperated in the spring.
Many of the eggs and larve may be de-
stroyed by pasturing with sheep and close
cropping Of winter wheat in November or
curly December. Some claim that roll
ing the ground will answer nearly as
well.
Another remedy is to SOW hardy varie-
ties of wheat, especially those that tiller
vigorously.
Lime, SCOT and salt are named as
special remedies, and it is also very gener-
ally recommended to rake off the stubble.
Objections are, however, urged by scien-
fists against too close cutting and burning
of the stubble, as this is liable to result in
destroying useful parasites, the ichneu-
mon fly among the rest. 1t has been esti-
mated that these parasites (Which, by the
by, farmers often mistake for the pests

The Cabbage Worm.

The cabbage worm has not been visibly
affected by the hard things said against
him, nor have the numerous sure cure
remedies sensibly affected his appetite.
Peter Henderson suggests the application
of alum water, II pound Of pulverized
alum to three gallons Of water. This will
not injurc the plant and may kill the
worm. Pyrethrum, either in powder OF
solution, is effective. The great difficulty
is to get any preparation on the worms,
and to repeat the application as often as
the successive broods hatch out.

Keeping Cider Sweet.

There is no process known that will
keep cider sweet without deteriorating its
quality somewhat, but there are various
methods for arresting fermentation and
preventing it from becoming soul. Pro-
fessional cider makers sometimes use
Shaw's Antiseptic Solution; others, who
prefer to avoid patented articles, employ
sulphite of lime, which is added after fer
mentation has proceeded until the cider
has acquired the acid taste desired. The
powder is first mixed in a quart or so Of
cider and then poured into the cask and
thoroughly shaken. Do not mistake sui

is the correct article,
